The province on Thursday gave its official stamp of approval to York Central Hospital to build a long-awaited hospital in Vaughan. Health Minister Deb Matthews and Vaughan MPP Greg Sorbara made the announcement at City Hall, confirming previous provincial approvals for the project. “[This] is an extremely important milestone for our community,” Mr. Sorbara noted. Ms. Matthews said the facility would ensure Vaughan residents have access to “high quality health care services much closer to home, but also greater peace of mind.” Vaughan’s hospital will be part of York Central’s two-hospital model for health-care services, with a single governance and administration structure. The City of Vaughan has contributed $80-million to the project, including purchasing the hospital lands, while York Region has committed $117-million. An additional $200-million will be coming from the Vaughan Healthcare Foundation. National Post
